Both clubs are entering with clean injury sheets, so the netminders and special‑team units will dictate who controls the tempo.

Absent any statistical backdrop, the smart pick hinges on which goalie can steal a few key saves and which squad can exploit the man‑advantage. Make your call or join the debate on StreakChat.
